HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, is planning a project in your area to replace an aging pump station with two new pump stations and to install new sanitary sewer pipelines to connect these new pump stations to the existing sewer system. This replacement project will also improve the system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future. The answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can be found here.

Project Overview

HRSD is undertaking a project to replace an aging pump station (PS-135) and its associated gravity sanitary sewer pipeline that runs along the banks of Shingle Creek between East Washington Street and Wilroy Road. This project will abandon / demolish the aged previous system and install a new modern system that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come. The project includes:

• A new 16-inch sewer pipe: Located along Portsmouth Boulevard from the intersection of Portsmouth Boulevard & Wilroy Road to the 8-inch sewer pipe at Myrtle Street. The sewer pipe continues from the intersection of Portsmouth Boulevard & Myrtle Street south towards Cypress Point Park, and this section will be constructed via a trenchless crossing that does not require as much digging. The rest of the new sewer pipe will continue south through the Cypress Point Park, east along Kentucky Avenue, before continuing south along Hollywood Avenue and East Washington Street to the future pump station (PS-160) site and will be constructed via open-cut method that will require excavation.
• A new 8-inch sewer pipe: Located along Portsmouth Boulevard from Myrtle Street to the future pump station (PS-159) site on Virginia Ham Drive. This installation includes two trenchless crossings. The remainder of the pipe installation will be via open-cut method that will require excavation.
• A new pump station, PS-159: Located near the intersection of Portsmouth Boulevard and Virginia Ham Drive
• A new pump station, PS-160: Located at 2245 East Washington Street
